This is nice and all, but as an indie developer, I've never needed to design my app layouts separately from my actual project in Xcode. Maybe I'm going about this development thing all wrong - but as a one-man-band, it would take too much time to design my app layouts outside of the coding environment IMHO.


Not to be dismissive, but either your projects have very simple UI or you don't iterate or experiment with different designs.


Neither. SwiftUI previews make it even faster (when they work). I'm mostly using stock UI stuff though.


In case they work.. I've got two SPM modules besides two projects inside a workspace and its impossible to make it work. Complaining about files not being part of any build. Files which are part of other packages which should not be built in the first place!?!


Me too. SwiftUI has made this a lot easier IMO and my overall goal of making something look “Apple-like” is a lot more reachable.


If you design them outside of the coding environment, you may find you actually save time overall.


It’s way faster to make changes in Sketch/Figma than it is in code.
